Opel Antara

The Opel Antara is a mid-size crossover SUV, which is based on General Motors' Theta platform. It is closely related to the Chevrolet Captiva (made in Korea by GM Daewoo, also sold as the Daewoo Winstorm), and shares the engine lineup with it, but has a different exterior and interior, as well as different exterior dimensions. The Antara is scheduled to be launched towards the end of 2006. In the UK, the model will be sold as Vauxhall Antara.

Concept

The Antara was first previewed by the 2-door Opel Antara GTC concept car, presented in September 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The production Antara, however, will be a 4-door vehicle only. As the same concept was also later displayed at the New York International Auto Show under the name Saturn PreVue, it is believed that it will also serve as the replacement for the Saturn VUE (which would be in line with the current trend to align Saturn with Opel).
